View on the Pragda STREAM site

Carlos Lechuga’s poignant third feature follows Vicenta Bravo, a gifted Afro-Cuban woman residing in Havana with the unique ability to see into the future and commune with spirits. Every day, people seek her out for guidance, but her world crumbles when her beloved son decides to emigrate, leaving her adrift in a crisis that blinds her to the unfolding events around her.

Struggling with her anxieties and the loss of faith permeating her surroundings, Vicenta embarks on a soul-searching journey across Cuba’s heartland. As she confronts her existential turmoil head-on, she discovers unexpected solidarity and empathy, rediscovering her connection to her ancestors and the island itself.

Anchored by Linnett Hernández Valdés’s compelling performance, Vicenta B is a quietly touching exploration of life’s uncertainties and the transformative power of acceptance.
